There was a lot of speculation over the weekend, and now, PEOPLE confirmed that brandy Glanville50, and Karoline Manzo61, really left the fourth season of Real Housewives ultimate journey early. Three sources told the paper that while the ladies were filming in Marrakech, Morocco last week, Brandi kissed Caroline several times without her consent.
“It was unwanted,” a source said PEOPLE. “And Caroline’s concern about that didn’t seem to stop Brandi. Things escalated and physical boundaries were reportedly crossed, which Caroline found serious and uncomfortable.
After the incident, the producers reportedly reported what happened to their superiors. Filming continued that night and into the next morning, and when Brandi became aware of Caroline’s feelings, she apologized via text. But the damage was already done – a decision was made to have Brandi leave the trip early. “Brandi’s behavior was inappropriate,” one of the sources said, “so she was asked to leave,” unbeknownst to Caroline.
Caroline also decided she didn’t want to film anymore, so she left the show later that night. “She had to process this outside of the reality TV environment,” one of the sources said.
